[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]May 14 is the Maryland primary election. Wouldn’t June 14 make the most sense?[/quote]

No, as has been discussed at length, days tacked on to the very end of the year end up being useless. We've got other make-ups in the calendar. This really shouldn't be so complicated. Use the first make-up day that's available to preserve the others for the additional days that will be needed.[/quote]

That’s your opinion, but I personally think June 14 is a useful and better option in that it will upset/disrupt fewer people. No one has a one day camp starting that day. It doesn’t ignite a religious debate. It could have easily been the last day of school in the first place. I would even keep 6/13 as a half day, do 6/14 as a half day to give teachers time to wrap everything up and close out. [/quote]

The time for that debate has come and gone. That's a calendar issue, and the calendar has been long set to include April 10 and April 22 as make-up days. If you don't think those should be school days, raise the issue when they create the new calendars.[/quote]

We do raise it, but the school system purposely selects these days as PD/Planning/Makeup as a gamble that it will work out. [/quote]

There are too many cultural and religious holidays to accommodate them all. So these either need to be make-up days, in which case we'll need to be able to use them for that purpose, or they need to be regular school days. So if your goal is to free up this day for teachers, then understand that pushing back on its use as a make up day could backfire.

Are you going to take a turn and go on your holiday? We can’t accommodate them all! [/quote]
